Navy ships in rare formation off San Diego

I thought you might like this interesting image, which the Navy released a few days ago. It showsthe San Diego-based carrier USS Carl Vinson aligned with other ships during a tactical maneuvering exercise in Southern California waters on Sept. 1. Vinson is flanked by "the guided-missile frigates USS Rentz (FFG 46) and USS McCluskey (FFG 41); the guided-missile destroyers USS Stockdale (DDG 106) and USS Gridley (DDG 101); and the guided-missile cruisers USS Lake Champlain (CG 57) and USS Bunker Hill (CG 52).
